Distance: 3m 5f 201y (Old) |
Prize: £74,125 Age: 5yo+ Race Type: Chase | Going: Soft |
After last season's grim renewal, a revamped National Hunt Chase, with the distance reduced, 2 fewer fences jumped and tighter conditions enforced for both horses and riders, the result the smallest field for the race this century and a surprising lack of depth, plenty looking short of the standard required, the race weakened further by the favourite failing to handle the fences, the pair that finished clear both with plenty of experience, including in handicaps; the pace increased on the final circuit and only 6 completed under very testing conditions, the standard of jumping declining markedly as the race went on, though there were no fallers and just 3 unseats among the 8 non-finishers.
